Need help to decipher the surname of the deceased. I can make out the first name of Filippo. Surname L or S?Also I was able to read that he was a 32 year-old bachelor. That the cause of death occured in Montemaggio. That he was dragged by a mule. What are the words between male and "trascinato" - dragged. Thank you.

He was born in Montemaggiore but living in Sciara where the death appears to have taken place.
